7AI automates the SOC lifecycle.
Simbian closes the loop with offense.
Both investigate every alert without a playbook, then act on the verdict. Simbian's AI SOC Agent resolves 92% of them autonomously, lets an analyst steer or take over any investigation, and gets sharper with every case it works, on one Context Lake it shares with an AI Pentest Agent.

Both close the alert. Only Simbian closes the loop.
Autonomous investigation is the baseline now. What separates the two platforms is how much control an analyst keeps, what the platform remembers, whether it improves itself, and whether offense is in the loop.
What both do
- ●Every alert investigated, around the clock, no playbookNeither hands a novel alert back to a person by default.
- ●A full, auditable reasoning traceBoth open every step, the tools they ran, and the evidence behind the verdict.
- ●The defensive lifecycle on one platformDetect, investigate, respond, and hunt, with humans keeping authority over what executes.
- ●Response that runs against the tools you already ownBoth act on the verdict instead of stopping at a recommendation.
Where Simbian pulls ahead
- ▸Steer the investigation, do not just read itAn analyst can redirect the agent mid-investigation through chat or the interactive graph, or take the investigation over entirely at any point.
- ▸Response with no workflow to authorContainment runs under the mode you set per alert class, from Read-only to Autopilot, so there is no branching workflow to build and keep current.
- ▸One Context Lake™, taught in plain languageTribal knowledge, documents, and analyst corrections become generalised context that steers every related alert, and every agent reads the same lake.
- ▸Self-Improving DefenseThe platform learns from every investigation and every correction, and rewrites its own skills when your environment stops matching the reference schema.
- ▸Offense and defense on one platformA proven exploit path raises the severity of the alert it touches, and a defensive gap becomes the next thing the pentest agent goes looking for.
Two architectures for the agentic SOC
One runs the defensive lifecycle end to end. The other runs it, generalises what it learns, and brings offense onto the same memory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Simbian. It investigates every alert without a playbook, then goes past the defensive loop: an AI Pentest Agent and an AI Threat Hunt Agent share one Context Lake with the AI SOC Agent, so a proven exploit path changes how a related alert is judged. It deploys on-premises or air-gapped with your own LLM, and resolves 92% of alerts autonomously in production.
Both are AI-native platforms whose agents reason through every alert with no playbook and then act on the verdict. 7AI's published platform runs the defensive lifecycle: detect, investigate, respond, and hunt. Simbian runs that same loop plus an AI Pentest Agent on one shared Context Lake, generalises what it learns across related alerts, and deploys inside your own trust boundary.
7AI's Enterprise Insights are structured facts about the artifacts in an environment: users, domains, hosts, and files. Simbian's Context Lake holds generalised context that changes how an investigation proceeds. One entry, such as traffic to a given region being normal for a subsidiary, reshapes every related alert without enumerating each address, and every agent reads the same context.
Yes, when both halves run on one memory. Simbian's AI Pentest Agent proves which paths are exploitable and writes the finding to the Context Lake that the AI SOC and AI Threat Hunt agents read. A validated exploit path raises the severity of the alert that touches it, and a defensive blind spot becomes the next thing the offensive agent goes looking for.
Look past investigation quality, which is the baseline now, and test four things: whether offense and defense share one memory, whether context generalises across related alerts or records one fact per artifact, whether the platform revises its own investigation strategies when your environment does not match the reference schema, and whether it deploys on-premises or air-gapped with your own LLM.
